How to Navigate Challenges in Skills-Based Transformation Journeys (an Interview with Christophe Cabrera)

Digital HR Leaders with David Green

Taking the first steps towards becoming a skills-based organisation is exciting—but what does it really take to get started?

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders Podcast, David Green sits down with Christophe Cabrera, Director and Head of IT Talent and Company Reputation at UCB, to share an honest look at the early days of their transformation.

Unlike the polished success stories we often hear, this conversation is all about the reality of starting out: what works, what doesn’t, and how to build momentum.

Here’s what you can expect:

• The biggest challenges in getting started, from outdated approaches to experimenting with AI
• How UCB used proof-of-concept to build confidence in AI-powered solutions
• Managing the complexities of a workforce spread across production, clinical and office roles
• Keeping their skills framework agile as new competencies emerge
• Defining what success looks like, with internal mobility and personalised learning leading the way
